For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels. Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud - and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection - and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city - including herself.

The second MYSTIC CITY novel . . . it’s Romeo & Juliet in a dystopic Manhattan. A city in flames. A trust betrayed. A perfect love destroyed. Has Aria lost Hunter, her one true love? Ever since rebellion broke out in Mystic City, pitting the ruling elite against the magic-wielding mystics, Aria has barely seen her boyfriend. Not surprising, since Hunter is the leader of the mystic uprising, and he’ll do whatever it takes to win freedom for his people—even if that means using Aria. But Aria is no one’s pawn. She believes she can bring the two warring sides together, save the city, and win back the Hunter she fell in love with. Before she can play peacemaker, though, Aria will need to find the missing heart of a dead mystic. The heart gives untold powers to whoever possesses it, but finding it means seeking out a fierce enemy whose deepest desire is for Aria to be gone—forever.

STADT DER MAGIE. STADT DER LIEBE. STADT DER GEFAHR. "Aria!", ruft Hunter. "Du darfst jetzt nicht aufgeben! Bleib bei mir!" Ich beginne zu zittern und spüre, dass ich jeden Augenblick ohnmächtig werde. "Bei dir bleiben?", frage ich benommen. Da schlingt Hunter seine Arme um mich und hält mich fest. Mein Blick ist gen Himmel gerichtet, der hinter dichtem Rauch verschwunden ist. Riesige Stahltrümmer rasen auf uns zu. Das war’s, denke ich. Jetzt ist alles aus. Der Kampf um Mystic City tobt. Mit Arias neuen mystischen Fähigkeiten wird sie zur großen Hoffnungsträgerin für das umkämpfte New York. Kann sie einen Krieg verhindern und die verfeindeten Seiten versöhnen? Doch Arias Zeit läuft gefährlich schnell ab. Denn ihre mystischen Kräfte vergiften sie mit jedem Tag ein bisschen mehr. Auch Arias Herz ist in Aufruhr. Soll sie ihrer Liebe zu Hunter eine zweite Chance geben? Oder ihre Gefühle für Turk zulassen?
